    All those arrested are from Mali and Niger. Incredible isn't it? Who is in charge of Ghana where "anything" can enter than engage in illegal mining? Tweakai.

  • Kofi 10 years ago

    Pellicles, it looks like there is nobody in charge of the country. The country has become a no man's land where anyone can enter and grab a portion. I'm still convinced Ghana our beloved country, has become a failed state.
